In reply to the discussion: ROF Responds to the Corporate Medias Anti-Vaxxer Attack on RFK, Jr. [View all]I'm saying they haven't found enough evidence to say that it is a concern for in utero. THEY are saying they haven't found enough evidence to say that it is a concern for in utero. They state that the results so far are reassuring that it's ok. It's right there above the bold face type you keep leaving in the form of a run-on.
It's not used on neonates. It's not used in childhood vaccines in the US. They took it out because of concern over mercury and fear that ethylmercury was as toxic as methyl. It's not. Research has shown again and again that the two are metabolized differently. The WHO is advocating for studies based on regions of the world where the chemical in question is still used vs areas where it is not.
This is what medical science does. It checks. It rechecks. It checks again. And again. And again. This is especially true as technology advances. A blurb suggesting a future study isn't proof that it's dangerous.
